Obituary.,

Died, at the residence of her father,
in McMinnville, May 80, 1887, Addie
Vesta Shaver. She was born in
Union county, Ohio, February 13,
1887. She was i'll about six weeks,
but bore her sufferings without MUIR
mer or complaint. She seemed to
realize from the first that she would
never recover, and often spoke of
death without fear or dread, but was
entirely submissive to the will of
Him who doeth all things well. She
was conscious until a short time be-
fore she died, and bid her parents
and sisters an affectionate farewell,
and requested them to meet her in
heaven. 1t is sad that one so young
should be cut down in the bloom of
youth, but God in His infinite good
ness has seen fit to remove her from
this world of sorrow to that home
on high where all is peace and joy.
We should not mourn and be cast
down, she has gone before to well
come us after our life's weary pill
grimage is over. We should bow in
humble submission to His divine
will and providence, for we know
that all things work together for good
to them that love God. She was a
loving and obedient daughter, and a
true friend, and is sadly missed by
her associates, but we rejoice in the
hope that we shall meet in the sweet
bye and bye.
Vesta, thou are gone but not forgotten,
With us your name shall live
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give,
Our thoughts and our tears.
A FRIEND.
